I am not sure, but I believe that it was Teaberry gum. My memory has failed me some.

(I did shows all over the South.) At that mall I sold more CP clothes for animals than I did for dolls. So, I quit craft shows and doll clothes and started making dog clothes and craft shows. I drove a route and sold them directly. I made more money and was less tired. It was the best thing I ever did. Except for the fact I am terrified of dogs, it all worked out well. Somewhere, there is a parrot and a whole bunch of pot-bellied pigs sporting clothes I made, not to mention dogs and dolls.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991571309786149363noreply@blogger.com
